I went ahead and started the thread! For those of you who don't know, Paul said Ben is one of his best friends. They met on The OC of course. I don't know how many of you are familiar with The OC, but Ben was the main character (Ryan Atwood). He's on Southland now. Anyway, if you guys ever take the time to watch some interviews with Ben or to get to know what he's like, you'll see that both Ben and Paul have some of the same qualities (humble, hard working, not typical Hollywood, etc.) so it's no wonder they formed such a bond!

They've supported each others' careers (Ben goes to some of Paul's Vampire Diaries events too ) and they seem to be really close (I think it's adorable that when Ben went to Turkey this summer, Paul babysat his dog).

I have a few other goodies with them that I'll post in time.

Enjoy the thread!

PS- I actually didn't do the coloring for the art in the OP. I had those pictures so I attempted to make my own art out of it, but I liked that one someone did better... so whoever owns that tumblr and made that should get all the credit!
